Ken;

I believe there are 4 crystals on what appears to be the standard filter 
board.  The 217 is on the AF/IF board and is switch selectable.  This is 
getting the output from the RX mixer which is then fed into the IF/AF 
board and the receive filter if selected. The 8122 filter is also the 
input to the TX mixer.  Interestingly, on the board picture in the 
manual, the filter is numbered as a 8117.  Serial no. is 00042 so things 
change.
